Team a cop with a clergyman to look into some gang trouble and let this comedy, and action-filled buddy movie begin. Unfortunately, there isn't much in the way of comic hijinks here, and the action is hard to come by too. As far as I could see, the action consisted of one placid car chase, with nary an accident or rollover, and one foot chase. Both seemed intended more as padding for a movie that still only comes in at 88 minutes. Neither seemed very exciting.
Perhaps I'm looking for the wrong thing here, but I've seen so many cop & (fill in the blank) buddy movies that my expectations are more in line with Men in Black, Turner & Hooch, Rush Hour, Bad Boys, Lethal Weapon, and 48 Hours. This adventure was a tad out of my comfort range for such movies.
I've never heard or seen anything by the director or writers of this film before, and I didn't recognize any of the actors. It also seemed a bit preachy for me, but I guess that goes with the territory when one of the "buddies" is a man of the cloth.
Movies with such low budgets can only offer so much. This isn't really a bad movie, it's just not very exciting, so anyone looking for more than dire prose will probably be disappointed. At least I was.
